Meet Our Dentists

Our dentists have extensive pediatric dentistry and orthodontics experience that includes a two to three-year residency, thousands of hours of continuing education, and a combined fifty-plus years of providing orthodontic services. That means our pediatric dentists are trained in the specific dental needs children and teens have, which are different than those of an adult.

At Children & Teen Dental in Tuscaloosa, we also offer highly skilled sedation and hospital dentistry services for our very young children and those with special needs!

Our staff, including our skilled hygienists, highly trained dental assistants, welcoming receptionists, and vitally important clerical and administrative professionals are dedicated to serving the special needs of children and teens.
